How do you guys read books that you don’t feel like reading?...

The one with the purple background and the 4 dots. Having trouble finding where to get it

Any recommendation for an 8-inch tablet? I currently have a Samsung A7 Lite and it’s a decent enough tablet for light tasks but wouldn’t mind getting something with more – everything, other than screen size.

What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I’ve been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don’t know much about it.

On Ubuntu (and probably other distros as well) it’s as easy as going to Settings>Accessibility>Reduce animations and then turning it ON. This seems to apply to most applications, like firefox, discord and spotify....

Hello guys I’m searching for a piece of software in with I can watch/launch things links a Netflix webapp freetube Plex/jellyfin or something like that in a format where I can just sit back with a remote or mouse and navigate around the gui’s...

Got the program installed and moved a dll file to where I believe it goes but am still getting asked to login, which when I click it, takes me to their site and doesn’t ask me about using an offline installation method. Someone suggested I change the “login” files name to “application” and try again and it’s still...

So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal...

I recently wrote about this series in another comment on here and I wanted to expand on it. For those who don’t know, Submachine is/was a series of 13-or-so flash point and click adventure games. Each game was based on “screens,” and you clicked the edges of each screen to move around the game world. You could collect...

I’ve been loving Lemmy and mastodon and feel they are coming along as good replacements for Reddit and Twitter. Outside the fediverse, I occasionally enjoy posting dumb little video shorts and I put them on TikTok, Facebook and Insta because I have friends, family and followers on each. (TikTok, Gen-Z, my daughter…Facebook,...

Is there an active self-hostable solution similar to Dropbox, GDrive? NextCloud not considered, too bloated, not polished.

If an instance were to leave the fediverse do we loose all its data? Say for example iPad Lenny.ml domain was seized or was forced to shutdown so we loose all communities from that host? Do we not see any posts? Can we still post to it? Seems like a big flaw if we have multiple large instances that can shutdown a significant...

I’ve been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there’re a couple of things making me want to switch....

Hi All. I have been running my own lemmy instance for a while now. I set it up sort of as an experiment, and then I realized that I liked having my own instance, as it makes me (mostly) immune to outages due to things outside my control, defederation drama, etc. So I decided that I am going to stick with having my own instance....

If you obtain a book on the High Seas, is it safe to use Kindle as the Epub reader? Would it phone home to Amazon that you have an “otherwise obtained” book?

I run Gentoo, which has a telemetry use flag. This will enable telemetry for a number of packages....

I mean, a state that is forseeing a election which an opponent party will likely win, could just pass a law before the election that says “The state legislature shall have the sole authority of appointing electors to the electoral college for elections of president and vice president” and if they have an already...

Hey guys, it’s me, Bizzle. I’m a tech hobbyist, but I think I’m a little out of my element here and I’m hoping you can help....

Maybe this is why pi was chosen for half of the circumference of a circle.

Sorry, noob here. I have been using Linux for a decade at least, but some basic stuff still stump me. Today, it’s file sharing: The idea is that the server is good at CPU and the NAS is good at storage. My NAS does run Docker but the services are slow; and my server runs a bunch of Docker containers just fine but has limited...

I’m specifically looking for something that can both add text and works well with a stylus + tablet (specifically a surface pro). The best I’ve been able to find is Okular, but it’s been very finicky for me, especially while editing text. Is there anything better, or does what I’m looking for just not exist yet?

im still debating wether i start a peertube channel or not, and im no pro but we all have to start somewhere. ive aksed variouse family member si know if i should do some sort of video content creation. i was thinking gaming but there are so many genres im not sure plus i have school and im worried it might make my life more...
